The Denver Nuggets took full advantage of a Memphis Grizzlies team lacking in confidence by grinding out a 99-94 home win to get back to .500 for the season on Friday.
The Nuggets, who have spent a National Basketball Association-high 17 of 24 games on the road this season, improved to 12-12 on their return to Denver, while condemning the Grizzlies to a third straight loss.
Andre Iguodala had a big night for the Nuggets with 20 points and seven assists, while benchman Andre Miller contributed 18 points.
"He is amazing with some of the stuff he does and how he gets it done," Nuggets coach George Karl told reporters of the 36-year-old Miller. "We don't win this game without Andre Miller, without a question."
Memphis (14-6) had a chance to tie the contest in the closing seconds but top-scorer Rudy Gay's (21 points) three-point attempt failed to drop.
Elsewhere, it was: Raptors 95, Mavericks 74; Pacers 95, 76ers 85; Magic 99, Warriors 85; Lakers 102, Wizards 96; Brewers 90, Cavaliers 86; Nets 107, Pistons 105 (double overtime); Rockets 101, Celtics 89; Timberwolves 113, Hornets 102; Thunder 113, Kings 103; and Suns 99, Jazz 84.
